in reply to Have you heard about recent startups using Perl?

I work for a big, old government branch. We have used perl in many many years, and use of perl is increasing, and the increase is not only because of the old hands.
If I were ever to care much about the popularity of [language I want to use], I think it's place in established business would matter more to me than it's use in startups.
